Well, I finally did it.  Got a hernia but pulled off the Mosaic Nat 'King' Cole box off of the shelf for the first time in years... my soul needs this...

Great group.  Litherland, to me, was a better singer than either Greenslade or (shudder) Farlowe, though Clempson was a more remarkable guitar player than Litherland.  How's the sound quality?  I know that musically, a lot of Montreux recordings have magic.

👍 Haven't heard this yet, but I remember hearing Larry Fuller live some years ago as the pianist in the Jeff Hamilton Trio, with IIRC, Lynn Seaton on bass.

Kinda echoey, but I'm fine with it. It's remastered for vinyl from the official Swiss TV archives’ master tapes.

I looked for this one for a long time. Finally found it had fallen back behind a bookcase of cds! Love this disc, love Strayhorn.

Sad news.  Sorry to hear of his passing.  He was a very fine musician.

Coincidentally, Gojković was in the Clarke-Boland BB.  He's a featured soloist on a couple of the tracks on the album I posted above.

The Bay City Jazz Band – The Bay City Jazz Band (Good Time Jazz, 1956)

A lot more of something in this one than in most of the San Francisco trad records. Blues feeling, maybe. I like it a lot more than the Turk Murphies and Yerba Buenas I've been flagelating myself with recently.

I hope Edel continues to reissue titles in the MPS catalog.  So much good stuff there.
